Anxiety: Anxiety is capable of causing your symptoms especially if they are more noticeable at rest than during exertion and in view of your negative tests and response to ativan (lorazepam). For completeness a treadmill stress test and echocardiogram can be done,but I recommend that you discuss stress management with your physician and avoid alcohol,caffeine and nicotine.
